CHICAGO -- The Milwaukee Brewers received a flurry of bad news on Saturday as star outfielder Christian Yelich was sent back to Milwaukee for an MRI on his back, while two pitchers, Brett Anderson and Josh Lindblom, were both placed on injured reserve.
Yelich, 29, hasn't played since April 11 and was eligible to come off the injured list on Saturday but that won't be happening anytime soon.
"With Christian, we've hit a plateau," manager Craig Counsell said. "Nothing bad happened yesterday (Friday). We're just at a plateau. We're just trying to rule everything out and get a new piece of information.
